The pollock holes is a fantastic place to visit if in Co Clare. It is so beautiful to to walk around the holes and have a swim in all three. The water is cold but so refreshing. There is something so calming about these holes. Lovely to see the locals coming down in their dressing gowns for a daily dip.

Spectacular cliffs stretching 700 feet over the rugged Atlantic coast is part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Geopark and is a Special Protected Area for Birds and Wildlife, home to 35 species of birds. The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience operates under an ethos of sustainability, environmental protection and conservation. Safe accessible viewing areas and pathways along the cliff edge appeal to all levels of ability. A short walk to O'Brien's Tower provides an excellent lookout on Ireland's beautiful western shoreline. The Visitor Centre hidden underneath the hillside houses an exhibition, two cafes, gift shop, toilets, first aid centre, information points and baggage store. Admission includes access to all areas, map and secure parking. The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience is a signature point on the Wild Atlantic Way.

I stayed in doolin and decided to catch the public bus from there (€3.30) up the visitor centre (didnt do the tourist bus that costs €8 and stops further along the cliffs). I actually got off the bus about 500 m from the visitor centre and the traffic was at a standstill. It was free to visit the cliffs and I then walked the cliff walk back to doolin (this took me 2 hrs). Stunning. I wanted to go in the morning but there was thick fog, so after taking local advise I went up at 3pm once the fog had burned off. Great pics and the sun was good on the cliffs (you get amazing views away from the visitor centre area as well so worth walking further around).

At our new visitor attraction one for the " 50 Secrets of the wild Atlantic Way" you can read first-hand accounts about our renowned musicians. Enjoy a 8-minute film telling the story behind the music and learn about the origin of the instruments and the people who played them.

We visited here in the spring of 2019, and it was a very informative spot that taught us a bit about local music history. I would highly recommend it as part of any visit, to learn about this wonderful town.

4 of us visited Bunratty Castle and Folk Park on Monday 29th. September 2020 and it was wonderful. My Wife and I have been here many times but for my Niece and her Partner, it was their first time, as Adults. Our visit to the cottages - on our way to the castle, gave a realistic perceptive on how the Irish lived in times gone by. Then to the Castle - proudly standing since the 15th. Century-and greeted by Chris, in period costume, who gave a comprehensive and beautifully voiced history of the Castle. Then up the spiral staircase to the Great Hall - with all its 15th. Century artefacts - and greeted by Anja-in period costume too, who gave us the history of that part of the castle. Finally we toured the Folk Park and Village and encountered donkies, pigs, Irish Wolfhounds and most of all - hand sanitizers, one way systems etc-safety during this pandemic. Thank you Pauline, Aileen, Michael, Aodhán, Anja and Chris for a most memorable day. Míle Buíochas
